    The first video from my latest trip abroad. This one is about the time I ran away to join the circus.
    This video I hope goes some way towards explaining my two-week gap of videos. I made enough to cover my time away for five weeks, but not for the extra unexpected two.
    Lindybeige: a channel of archaeology, ancient and medieval warfare, rants, swing dance, travelogues, evolution, and whatever else occurs to me to make.

    Haha, I saw someone exactly like you trekking up the royal mile with that huge rucksack and thought, hmm that looks like Lindy. Turns out it was.

    I can't believe it. This is literally 3 minutes from where I live. I could have gone and seen you perform. Actually passed you on the street near the castle.

      +Serbia Stronk He probably works for the MI6 in one way or another. Though not on quite the same payroll as Mr. Bond, seeing as Mr. Lloyd got to sleep in a caravan and not a luxury hotel with casino.

    • @dimesonhiseyes9134
      @dimesonhiseyes9134 9 років тому +23

      +Savage Beatings because bond loses so much money at those casinos they can only afford a caravan for everyone else.

    Lindybeige is quite something. You find him through a video about swords or fire arrows or what have you, and you think "oh, he's a nerd just like me". Then you watch some more of his videos and you realize this guy lives more in one week than most of us do in our entire lives.

    • @blogobre
      @blogobre 9 років тому +1

      Your guess is indeed accurate and it's still a little unexpected, such a small world. Thanks for all of your great vids, most of them bring me a good amount of joy, occasional thinking and shifts of position and of course love the dancing as I put in 10 years in Modern Jive [always bouncing like Lindy lol].

    So you're a historian/evolutionary psychologist/professional dancer?

    Wait, now I am confused. In the end credits you said: "And yes, that was me doing the 'spanish web'..." but right after you say: "..., and no, I didn't". Was the last statement made to disqualify the first one (as some kind of joke?)or to answer something else?
